CENTENNIAL NOTES
there is every prospect that the closing,
weeks of the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion will be the most largely attended
of any during the Fair period.
J. J. Underwood, home commis
sioner at the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion, has just received from Alaska, a
specimen of tin ore weighing 450
pounds. The specimen contains 60
per cent tin, and is worth twenty cents
a pound.
The total admissions to the Lewis
and Clark Exposition up to September
27, was 2,066,545. It is expected
that the grand total will be not less
than 2,500,000 a better record than
ever before was made by an enterprise
of similiar magnitude.
The Lewis and Clark Exposition
closes at half past eleven o’clock Sat
urday night, October 14. It was ori
ginally intended that October 15,
should be the closing day, but as this
fell on Sunday, the change was made.
The Fair has been a tremenduous suc
cess.
The livestock show at the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, which closed Sept
ember 29, was the crowning feature of
the Fair. It was much better attended
than was the livestock show at St.
Louis, and in some ways superior.
The showing of shorthorns was the
best ever made in America.
Monday, October 9, has been set
aside as Music Day at the Lewis and
Clark Fair.
Wednesday, October 11, will be
Pythian Day at the Lewis and Clark
Fair, and the day will be fittingly
celebrated.
The evening of the last day of the
Lewis and Clark Expedition has been
designated as Goode Night, in honor
of H. W. Goode, president of tlie Ex
position.
